Who knows, maybe Sam on the Board can influence Boston Beer to make more interesting beers!

Hopefully they just focus on quality product. Too many are relying on added ingredients to give their beer flavor and character because they can’t do it with just barley, hops, water, and yeast.

But I like my fruit-flavored sour ales. ;-)

I’ve got some of the apricot sour from Cascade in my basement, it’s great.

Chatted with the Dogfish Head rep at Benz yesterday about this. He thinks it's going to be a good thing for their brand, especially since Sam is on the BOD. Again, it's about distribution and access.
